WITH PISTOL AND CANE.
DESPERATE FIGHT BETWEEN
TWO MISSOURI OFFICERS.
Tsrrfble Tragedy in Mexico-The Awful
Deed of Crazed Texas Negro-An
Iowa Murder Mystery.

JEFFERSON, CITY, No., April GA per-
sonal encounter took place in the street here
tuesday between State Auditor Walker and
John W. Henry, ex-Judge of the Supreme
court, in which the latter was dangerously
shot and the former severely wounded in
the head by blow from Judge Henry's cane
There has existed for for some time an ill
feeling between these two gentlemen, which,
doubtless, was intensified by reason Of the
legislative investigation into charges against
the Auditor, that officer believing Judge
Henry had more or less to do with bringing
about the investigation. Judge Henry was
attending Supreme court as attorney in a
case, and was on his way to the court house
when he was met by Auditor Walker.
"Walker stopped and ask me why /
was trying to injure him by talking
about him as had done," said
the Judge. "He alluded to my testimony be-
fore the Walker investigation committee
when told him thai all then stated or had
said about him was true. He then called me
- - liar, when | struck him over the
head with my cane. As to what transpired
afterward l have no distinct recollection. "
Alter the trouble Judge Henry went to the
Supreme court and telephoned for Drs.
Thompson and Young. The physicians probed
the wound, and found that the bullet had en-
tered the palm of the left hand, passed up the
arm just under the skin about half way to
the elbow, when it passed out and struck the
left breast and ranged across the center of
the breast, where they are satisfied
it is imbedded in the breast bone Both
doctors pronounce the wound dangerous but
not likely to prove fatal Auditor Walker was
feeling too bad to make any statement. Ha
was suffering from the shock and from nerv-
Gus prostration. He complains of partial
paralysis of the left side and palpitation OF
the heart. The scalp wound, though severe,
is not considered serious. Mr.. Walker has
been twice elected State Auditor, and served
one term as Railroad Commissioner. He
was 63 years old last month. Judge Henry
retired from the Supreme bench last Janu-
ary, after serving ten years. He is 81 years
old. Judge Henry was taken to his home in
Kansas City.

Banking association, in New York, and was
dated April Z, 1887, No. 233, for $4,000. to

which contained the draft was mailed at

A Negro's Awful Deed.

GALVESTON, Texas, April ga special
to the News from Longview says: Caleb
Foster, negro living near the south line of
Harrison county, suddenly became crazed a
few days ago, snatched his 3-year-old child
by the legs, dashed its brains out against a
cree, and ran with the body to the creek
bottom, where he was Intellectually
follwed by his family. Assistance was
procured and he was finally
captured When found Foster was rending
the childs body with his teeth, splitting flesh
onto the ground and all the time jabbering
to himself. Upon being captured he was
conveyed to his home and closely guarded.
Three days after, recovering his normal con-
dition and not seeing his little son playing
around his bed, he inquired for him. The
truth was not told him, and a strict investi-
cation showed conclusively that he retained
no remembrance of the awful tradgedy in
which he had been the chief actor.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Judge Lewis F
Fayson, representing the Ninth Illinois Dis
trict in Congress, took occasion before leav-
ing for his home in Pontiac yesterday to de-
hne his position on the tariff question and

lives than now have that am talking with
you. AS to what the final result will be,
that depends upon circumstances. The

Republican, and it is but logical to think we
viii be restored to power, but circumstances

have been incompetent to deal with the inn

left their Executive with an accommodating
surplus that is draining the people The
Secretary of the Treasury has TO means of
getting rid of this unless he buys bonds at a
premium in the market, and the people
OF this country will never be content to per-
NIT that. If this state of affairs continues
it will insure change of party administra-
ton. If, however, the surplus is let out of
the Treasury, and the prosperity of the
country continues; il business is active and
there is healthy condition Of affairs gener-
ally throughout the country, Mr.. Cleveland's s

wrong has been done reparation will be made,
but the tone of the French press is not SO
pacific.

Count Herbert Bismarck, complete state
ment of the French side of the Schnaebeles
case Count Herbert stated that the German
foreign office had not yet received all the doc

Alsace- Lorraine, has been instructed to
make an entirely fresh Investigation Of the
affair.
